Sometimes we all get so caught up in the daily grind that a whole season goes by and we realize we’ve only viewed it from car and office windows. When it comes to the autumn in New Hampshire, letting that happen is absolutely criminal! This fall, make sure you get out there, however you can. If you want to see the season in a new way, here are some ideas for you. This year, admire the foliage:
- On a scenic river cruise

- From a beautiful hiking trail
AllTrails/Vicky Gagnon Hiking itself is of course not unique - but the view you’ll get from each individual trail is all its own, and it’s perhaps the most quintessentially New Hampshire way to see the changing seasons. We recommend Artist’s Bluff for a great autumn hike.
